The Western Conference of the MLS regular season continues as the Portland Timbers face LAFC in a showdown that could shift the tone of their seasons.

Portland Timbers is playing as the host in this encounter. They have four victories, two draws, and two losses so far in their campaign.<\/strong> Additionally, The Timbers have been looking like one of the top offensive teams but require work on defense to keep things tight.

On the Visitor’s side is LAFC, which is coming as the 7th placed team in the Western side and displaying a “kill or be killed, nothing in between” kind of mentality, coming from four victories and four losses so far in their campaign,<\/strong> but with their defense conceding one more goal than their offense has been able to dish out.

Either way, we expect a pretty exciting clash this Saturday as two top teams meet for what we believe will be an intense game.

Why Bet on Portland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portland has been on a successful run, even though their defense has struggled quite a bit in comparison to the top teams on the board.

However, what they lacked on defense, they made up with offense, which has allowed them not only four wins but also to draw in two of the remaining clashes and stay in the fight for the top, only one point behind the second-placed team on the Western side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on LAFC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to LAFC, they are in 7th because they go all out, no question, no cares, which has ended up looking reckless and has them on an even four victories and four losses split.

However, their current style could be counterproductive against a team like The Timbers, especially when hosting a clash like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis: Portland vs. LAFC <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We expect goals to go both ways in this clash, but the longer it goes, we think that Portland will be able to exploit the holes in LAFC’s defense better and better and get the three points during this clash.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Portland, with a Moneyline of 2.349, while LAFC sits at 2.739, and a draw is at 3.815.

That doesn’t mean LAFC will be an easy team to beat. We are sure they’ll be putting the pressure, but we think the Timbers are capable of handling it.

Go for a win for Portland. If you bet $100 at 2.349, you will gain $134.90. for a total payout of $234.90<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
